Positive experience with Parkers. We just moved in into a new apartment and the whole team was very helpful. Marco was a great to be in touch with in the moving in process. He answered all our questions and made the whole moving in process very smooth and worry free. He also helped us to ensure the property was up to standard before I moving in. He remained in contact later in the days to ensure all was good and helped us fixed a fix minor issues.Overall, I'm very happy with my experience and would recommend them to others moving to the Reading area.

I was impressed by Parkers Reading throughout my experience with them. When searching for a place to let, Molly was really helpful and informative. After leaving my number about the availability of a property viewing, she reached out to me when a viewing became possible and helped me organise my viewings. Once I'd agreed to take on a property, Marco was a great contact. He was able to answer all my questions and refer useful sites to me to help make the move in smoother. He also helped ensure the property was up to standard before I moved in. He remains a good contact and has responded positively to the few issues I had when moving in. Overall, I'm very happy with my experience and would recommend them to others moving to the area.

Been on a house hunt recently, and with the market at its peak it’s been very difficult. However I had the pleasure of having Molly assist me. She’s very attentive and always keeps in contact, updating me on anything new. Molly has done her very best, in helping me understand the harder parts of renting. She also listens very well to the things I require and does her best to match me to properties that are best suited to my personal needs. All in all very impressed with the work standard Molly is producing. Parker’s Reading are lucky to have her on their team.

Sale of property

Harry Buck and Damien Glowacki were absolutely fantastic and so helpful through the whole process. Unflappable and great with communicating during a turbulent time with the 2022 budgets and mortgage rates and just generally very friendly and helpful - with a great sense of humour to boot. We really felt like Harry and Damien were on our side and helped us progress to our next property. Never pushy, just honest. Would highly recommend

Generally good experience as buyers with Parkers, communication could have been clearer at the early stages of our move, but overall a positive experience and Harry was constantly in touch at the final stages of the sale to give updates, and we felt he kept our interests in mind.

Very good experience checking out a flat we have rented through Parkers Reading, as we used a different professional cleaning company from the ones under the contract with Parkers, they have been flexible with some minor oversights allowing the cleaner we used to go back to the property after we vacated it to fix them. If one of their preferred contractors would have attended, we would have lost 65 gbp from the deposit for some minor dust marks. Deborah King was very flexible and deserves a shout out for releasing quickly our deposit

I have dealt with several estate agents in Reading whilst trying to find my son a property to rent for a year. I have spoken to several people at this branch, Ellie, Molly, Ruby, Mark and Luke. Each have been pleasant and answered all my many questions. Luke has today dealt efficiently with my queries and all questions and emails dealt with promptly. Parkers is clearly an established estate agent in Reading and it shows. Would recommend and use.

Professional and knowledgeable staff

The staff I dealt with, Callum, was friendly and professional. He provided me with all the initial information so I could make informed decisions about renting my property. I also met other team members, Kurt and Sam, who were also quick to answer questions and provided the help I required.

Can you expect your professional agent saying this? “The rest of the issues you need to speak with your landlord directly please, we do not manage the property or receive the rent.” Parkers will act friendly and helpful until you sign the contract, but once you’re locked in, their only goal is to make you pay more. Their contracts are full of grey areas, vague terms, and hidden traps, evading responsibilities, designed to benefit them at YOUR EXPANSE. Even my lawyer friend pointed this out. Do not sign with them unless you’re prepared to be taken advantage of.

Dropped two starts for the bumpy start with lots of back and forth and repetition from myself as it always seemed to be the case that someone else was dealing with my file each time and the staff were not communicating properly internally, not much accountability there. Good ending though when Bernadette took over and got things moving, finally giving me a single point of contact for our business. Thank you!

Dream First Property Buying Experience

We bought our first property with Parker’s and they could not do any more to reassure and help us at every point in the process.They let us view the property whenever we wanted after the initial offer was accepted, were patient when we needed extra surveys doing, and guided us through to the end with professionalism and kindness.Kira, Harry and Nicole were particularly brilliant and I would not hesitate to recommend Parker’s to anyone.

Customer service on the phone was great as I was able to book quite a few viewings and met with politeness. That’s what the 2 star is for. However, there were 2 instances I wasn’t informed about viewings being cancelled which ruined the experience. 1st one- if I had not called the day before to speak about a different viewing and mentioned this one, I would’ve travelled there and wasted my time. I got a call an hour before on the day saying it was cancelled. Just not enough notice. 2nd one I was at the door at the time of the viewing and wasn’t informed until I called asking where someone was. I was told I’d been called the day prior to cancel it.. I don’t have any missed calls on my phone and requested why an email wasn’t sent as I travelled from a different city for this viewing. There needs to be more done to make sure people are aware of viewings aren’t going ahead as not everyone lives nearby and have to make prior plans to travel. Send emails and texts if people don’t answer.

Overall ok, didn't take responsibility for mistake for mistake

Overall ok, they get the job done and are usually professional and knowledgeable. They did not pass on information to buyers that then caused issues - buyers ended up technically homeless. I understand mistakes can be made, it wasn't entirely their fault, but they blamed the other estate agent and us (the sellers) for not telling them - although I did and the buyers for misunderstanding. And it is their job to understand the chain but seemingly everyone else's fault. They put pressure on us to "just move into rental" and often told me buyers were "homeless" or about to pull out. It was a very difficult situation and costed us thousands. On balance though Nicole was good, she had taken this case on after the chain complications, she was efficient and helpful and got the sale through.

Olivia · 19 October 2021

Hi Olivia, It is a shame to read that you did not have a five star experience with Parkers Reading - we pride ourselves on our strong and consistent communication with all relevant parties - we felt that we achieved this, with regular updates by both Damien and Nicole. The lack of communication was from higher up in the chain and we were constantly chasing for updates with limited success. We were also in close contact with your solicitor to chase and get updates. Due to the complexities with the onward purchase for yourself, and due to the tenants not vacating on the onward purchase - you made the decision to withdraw your offer and make an offer on an alternative property. Your buyers were ready to complete at an earlier date, due to you pulling out of the purchase they gave an ultimatum of them to break the chain or they would pull out of the sale. To keep the chain together the suggestion was given by the buyers to move into temporary rental accommodation. We will only ever forward on these communications and give our professional opinion to aid in giving the best outcome for all parties, the final decision was decided by you to move into the temporary rental accommodation. Please get in contact as we would love to answer any questions you have regarding this instruction. Thanks, Parkers
